IPL 2022 Retention: Best Predicted List Of Players To Be Retained By RCB

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is definitely the first player that Royal Challengers Bangalore will retain in IPL 2022. Although Kohli has left captaincy of the team, he is a prominent batsman. With 6283 runs in 199 innings, he is the leading run-getter in IPL and the only batsman to reach the 6000-run mark.

In IPL 2021, he mustered 405 runs in 15 games at an average of 28.92 and 3 fifties. Virat Kohli is one of the top batsmen in international cricket and RCB will not release him from the squad anytime soon.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is another player that the team might retain in IPL 2022. The Australian batter became a part of the team last season; when RCB bought him for Rs. 14.25 during IPL 2021 auction. He compensated this massive amount with his astonishing batting show in the tournament.

Maxwell slammed 513 runs in 14 innings at an average of 42.75 and strike rate of 144+, smacking 6 half-centuries. The right-handed batsman finished as the top run-getter for the team and 5th highest overall. With the ouster of AB de Villiers from IPL, Glenn Maxwell will be on the franchise’s eyesight for retentions.

Devdutt Padikkal might be the 4th player that RCB might retain in IPL 2022. The left-handed batsman joined the franchise in his debut edition in 2020 and has performed over the top so far. He is a powerful opener with his hard-hitting style of batting.

In IPL 2021, he slammed 411 runs in 14 games at an average of 31.61 and a strike rate of 125+. The Karnataka player also slammed one unbeaten century. Being 21 years old at present, Padikkal can be a good investment for the franchise in the future.
